The Old Man and the Child

By Gabrielle Roy

Christine lives in a small windswept prairie city where time moves slowly. One morning, at the height of a hot, dry summer, she befriends an old man who lives just a few streets over. As their unlikely friendship grows, they hatch a plan to visit Lake Winnipeg-- a vast inland ocean the old man longs to see again and the young girl can only imagine.
